"Defense of the Ancients" cannot be installed, as it is simply a map file for Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos/The Frozen Throne, like Hands of Sorrow Knight, Battletanks, etc. You require Warcraft III and its expansion installed first.

Defense of the Ancients cannot be installed, as it is a map, not a separate game.First, you need to have Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne (Expansion pack. You need Warcraft: Reign of Chaos to install it)..... Then download the version of DotA you want. After downloading, go to C:\Program Files\Warcraft III, or wherever you've chosen to install the game, and then copy the map you downloaded and paste it into the Maps folder. You're finished then, but be sure you have the World Editor for DotA. You can download it from websites, but some CDs have map editors included. After downloading or pasting the map, open all the folders and find the "BNU (Battle.net) Update", and then click it. After the update, copy the BNU Update, paste it to the folder you placed DotA in, and you're done. Just run Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, go to single player, then custom game, and you'll find the map in the menu at the top.
To play DotA one must simply own the game Warcraft 3 and the Frozen throne expansion. The user must open a battlenet account (ingame) and download the DotA map. Maps can be downloaded from getdota.com After downloading the map be sure to move the file into the Warcraft 3 maps folder. Do this by double-clicking "my computer" and navigating to the proper folder and then dragging the file in.
